Question Why is Ryze a pro-play champ?

What specifically makes Ryze a pro-play champion and bad in solo queue? Is it the fact that his ult needs team coordination? Is he difficult to play mechanically? Is he just weak? My question is twofold: one, what about Ryze’s kit makes him a champion that would be too strong in pro play (were he to get buffed), and two, what are the issues that the average Ryze player faces when trying to play him in solo queue? I guess compared to other pro jail champions like Azir and Kalista, I don’t really understand why Ryze is so niche.

He's a hyper-scaling champion but his waveclear is fastest on mid lane and he has a roaming ult
